Fang Yuyang frowned and sighed beside him, "If it weren’t for my little sister constantly using her Wood Elent Superpower to heal our wounds along the way, I’m afraid we would have already..."
Fang Yuxin stood to the side and didn’t go on about how miserable their journey had been. Instead, she asked, "Beishi Base is so large, it must be developing very well, right? If we want to enter, are there any procedures we need to follow?"
These Corpse Hunters were all residents of Beishi City, and upon hearing her praise and apparent envy of Beishi Base, they couldn’t help feeling a sense of pride, even a sense of superiority. However, thinking of the actual situation within Beishi Base, these people began to feel defensive and hostile towards the three newcors who had suddenly arrived and planned to stay.
Although Beishi Base had indeed developed quite well into a large base, there were simply too many people inside. As a result, many had to squeeze into narrow rooms, and resources had beco increasingly expensive. If more people ca, wouldn’t the prices sky-rocket even more?
Thus, after hesitating for a mont, the leader shook his head and sighed, "Beishi Base is not as good as you think. Your base is short of food, and Beishi Base is in a similarly grim situation. Beishi Base is a large base, with many more people than your small base can compare to. The Base is already overly saturated, and there’s no way to accommodate more people. Even if you do want to enter, you will have to pay a considerable price."
Hearing this, so of the less savvy among them changed their expressions slightly and looked at him, puzzled. Fang Yuxin and her companions saw this and feigned ignorance, showing an anxious deanor as they looked to the person who had just spoken for help.
This person was the leader of the squad, roughly at the Second-level Middle Stage, not very strong. Judging by their clothes and equipnt, one could guess they were not doing well in Beishi Base. No wonder they had to venture out on missions in such cold weather.
Bai Ye appeared to believe him, asking anxiously, "What should we do then? Our vehicle is destroyed, and we have nothing left but these clothes. If we can’t enter Beishi Base, what will we do?"
Although the captain had his own motives for saying what he did, he wasn’t heartless. After hesitating, he suggested, "There are other bases nearby. Why don’t you take a look?"
The three exchanged glances. Although this man ant them no real harm, their mission was to infiltrate Beishi Base to understand the situation inside. The "kindness" he offered was dood to be unaccepted.
So Bai Ye pretended to be troubled and said, "We have no idea how far the nearby bases might be. Who knows what dangers we might face along the way... Let’s try Beishi Base first. If it really won’t work, then we can consider other places."
Fang Yuxin followed up, "Beishi Base is supposed to be a safe haven, right? Is it conceivable that such a large base can’t accommodate even three more people?"
Seeing that they weren’t taking the hint, the captain’s dissatisfaction grew, and his expression and tone cooled, "If that is the case, then you try on your own. We have a mission and must be going."
The others had initially hesitated, thinking he was perhaps being too harsh and wanted to say sothing. But before they could speak, he gave them a cold glance, warning, "What’s the ti now? Completing the mission is the priority, it’s not the ti to ddle in others’ affairs!"
With these words, no one dared to speak up, and they obediently followed him, leaving. As Fang Yuxin and her companions watched them drive away with a smile that was not quite a smile, they didn’t take it to heart and instead continued toward Beishi Base.
There was still so distance to Beishi Base. Along the way, they encountered several other Corpse Hunting Teams who were initially very cautious, only relaxing once they had confird that the three were not Advanced zombies in disguise. However, the situation at Beishi Base was probably not very good, as the several teams they t were all quite averse to the idea of them entering the Base. So with worse temperants even outright mocked them. Luckily, these people exercised restraint and, while mocking them, didn’t attack them physically.
Once they had left, Fang Yuxin whispered to Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang, "It seems Beishi Base’s situation is worse than we anticipated, otherwise, these people wouldn’t be so xenophobic. The question is, who currently controls Beishi Base."
As soon as she finished speaking, both Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang nodded. Fang Yuyang said, "When we left, the two strongest forces in Beishi Base were the Bai Family’s White Wolf rcenary Corps and Zhao Qiankun’s Qiankun rcenary Group. The rest weren’t worth ntioning. Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun are both ambitious, and they definitely won’t just maintain the status quo. Now, more than three months have passed, and Beishi Base has likely undergone trendous changes."
Bai Ye touched his nose in frustration. When Fang Yuyang had ntioned the Bai Family, he had glanced his way on purpose, which made him rather upset. Although his last na was Bai, he had long severed ties with Bai Zhengyi’s branch, so why look at him?
But before he could speak, Fang Yuyang added, "It’s just unclear which is currently stronger, the Bai Family or Zhao Qiankun."
Bai Ye felt imdiately disheartened, certain that this remark was ant for him. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to cast your recomndation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian to read.)
